Abstract: A wellbore system may include a work string and at least one downhole device connected to a portion of the work string, the downhole device configured to deliver a periodic stream of fluid to a portion of a wellbore. The system may further include at least one sensor configured to detect reflected energy pulses associated with the periodic stream of fluid. The at least one downhole device may be configured to modify a pressure of the periodic stream of fluid in real time based on the reflected energy pulses received in real time.

Abstract: Systems and methods for reducing unwanted water and/or gas intrusion into a hydrocarbon production wellbore. The system includes a treatment injection tool for injecting a treatment agent into portions of the formation surrounding the wellbore and a tunneling tool for forming one or more tunnels within the formation. Sensors provide real-time information about wellbore parameters during treatment so that wellbore analysis can be conducted.

Abstract: A system and method of applying periodic energy pulses to a portion of a wellbore, fracture(s), and/or near wellbore to interrogate and/or stimulate at least a portion of the wellbore, fracture(s), and/or near wellbore. The system includes a downhole device that is configured to deliver periodic energy pulses to a portion of the wellbore. The downhole device may deliver various energy pulses such as pressure waves, seismic waves, and/or acoustic waves. Sensors may determine properties of a portion of the wellbore and/or fracture based on energy pulses detected within the wellbore. The sensors may be connected to the downhole tool, may be positioned within the wellbore, and/or may be positioned at the surface. The magnitude and/or frequency of the periodic energy pulses may be varied to change the stimulation and/or interrogation of the wellbore.

Abstract: A method of planning and/or performing an energy industry operation includes estimating variable coefficient of friction (CoF) functions defining the variation of a CoF as a function of a downhole condition dependent on a selected operational parameter of an energy industry operation, the operation including deploying a downhole component configured to perform the operation, each variable CoF function associated with a different value of the selected operational parameter.

Abstract: Arrangements and methods for acid tunneling and fracturing within a wellbore. Acid is flowed into a wellbore to form a lateral tunnel which extends radially outwardly from the main wellbore. Thereafter, a fracturing bottom hole assembly is run into the lateral tunnel and isolated. Acid is then injected into the lateral tunnel to fracture portions of the formation radially surrounding the lateral tunnel.

Abstract: Arrangements for transmitting electrical operating power to a downhole electrically operated tool via a dual-walled conductive running string.

Abstract: A method of monitoring a coiled tubing operation includes positioning a bottom hole assembly (BHA) connected to a coiled tubing string within a horizontal wellbore. The method includes monitoring a plurality of sensors connected to the BHA via a communication line positioned within the coiled tubing string and determining an optimal injection speed of the coiled tubing string by monitoring the sensors in real-time. The injection speed of the coiled tubing may be changed based on the real-time determination of the optimal injection speed. The sensors may be monitored in real-time to determine an optimal amount of lubricant to be injected into a wellbore or whether the coiled tubing string is forming a helix. The BHA may include a tractor or a vibratory tool to aid in the movement of the BHA along a horizontal wellbore. The communication line may be used to power the sensors, tractor, and vibratory tool.

A milling bottom hole assembly is run in on a Telecoil® running string and includes a rechargeable power section which is recharged via tube-wire in the running string. The milling bottom hole assembly also includes a sensor section which measures tension, compression and torque experienced by the running string during milling.

Abstract: A re-fracturing method involves placement and centralization of a liner string that has shaped charges at predetermined locations that are externally isolated with packers. The shaped charges can be set off in a desired order and re-fracturing can then take place in new locations. In a bottom up order for perforating sequentially larger balls can be landed on seats and developed pressure or component movement generated by applying pressure can be used to set a shaped charge and isolate portions of the borehole below. The balls and even the seats can be later milled out or just allowed to disintegrate or dissolve with well fluids that are present or later added to clear the liner for subsequent production. Alternatively, the liner could be removed by release of the packers before production or injection begins.
